Make My Life A Prayer To You

This morning a song by Keith Green was set aflame on the altar of my heart and resonated throughout this frail temple. On my Mind on Fire blog I'm working my way through Galatians 2:20, and in many respects this is about Galatians 2:20.

The words, "No empty words and no white lies, no token prayers no compromise" are words that God's people need to recover. "I wanna die and let You live" is our calling in Jesus Christ. How have we fallen into the abyss of narcissism? Replacing the Gospel of Christ in which He died for us so that in Him we can die for others, with a message that is all about us, about making us happy, about us consuming "things", about "me, me, me"? 

How can we live as "closet Christians" ashamed of Him and of the only possible hope for the world?

The salt isn't going to season or preserve anything if it stays in the shaker.

Much love,

Bob

Make My Life A Prayer To You

Keith Green

Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light You gave
Thru Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know You're really there

Well, I wanna thank You now
For being patient with me
Oh, it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh, you're coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God the Son and You've risen from the dead
